    Each week at Christ Community Church, we feature stories of what God's doing in the lives of the people who make up our church family - the story of how they came to faith in Jesus, the story of how God's currently growing them in grace, or even the story of how they're taking their faith outside and meeting needs in our community. The Stories From the Trail segment shares those stories with you. This week, we hear from CCC deacon Brad Combs as he reflects on his story of faith and how God continues to grow and change him through different seasons of life.
